weekend

hello everyone! had a fun weekend. did loads of stuff.
saturday night was just saturday night, i went to the ACJC fun o rama in the day and saw lots of old frenz like bren, heath, robyn, frances, mike naidu etc etc. nice seeing them again sia. Dinner was i cant remember where.

Sunday!!
went to church, came home at the request of mum since she said i should study and guess what? the door to my house was LOCKED! wahaha. so i called mum and said," eh mum! how to study when i cant get to my books? the door is locked! "

studied for about an hour, then went to lunch with Roselyn Jackson who is a missionary and house guest for the weekend and goes tomorrow to i dunno where, Uncle Peck Lim and Auntie Kooi Lian, Dzung and her friend, mum and dad and there was ME! haha.

Lunch was at Vis A Vis at Chun tin road. had the set lunch. Leek soup, Steak for mains, and some chocolate sauce thing. it was fantastic.

After lunch we went to the bird park (Roslyn, Mum, Dad and I) we got there just in time for the 3pm show, i made sure they found their way to the ampitheatre and went off to the hawk walk to say hi to everyone. Shah Greeted me like a long lost friend and indeed i had not seen him for ages! the last visit i had, he was on leave. Everyone was on leave except for Nisham, Pei Yun, Shah and Soon. It was nice to see everyone again. Preperation for the Afternoon show seems much easier than for the morning show. It went really smoothly but unfortunately, the wild brahminy kite did not show itself. Pei Yun finishes her attachement next friday. it will be different when i next return and she is not there. but it was nice when she was around as she was always smiling from ear to ear.

Mum and Dad and Roselyn barely made it to the 4pm show and just managed to see Norman snatch a rubber snake out of the snatching pool. it was a fantastic snatch. I enjoyed myself very much at the show. the brahminy kites were cool, snatching meat mid air. really fast birds they are. very beautiful with a cream to white head and chest, a brownish red body and black feather tips on the wings, they are awesome birds when they soar.

After the show, Roselyn had a photo with Tupa, our malay fish owl. I had a few photos with him too. Owls are lovely birds with a fantastic personality, they sit so still on the fist and seem to be so wise. of all owls i think the most beautiful is probably the fish owl or the barn owl. then again, all owls are beautiful in their own way. anyway, if i end up working with birds of prey, it will not be good to have a favourite. haha.

Dinner was eaten at the SICC Bukit chinese restaurant. it was alright. the company was good!!


anyway, i'm zonked. i'm off to bed now. Good Night.
